Iranian drones and speedboats swarm two FPSA warships with 4,000 troops on board!
STRAIT OF HORMUZ, Persian Gulf (PNN) - August 21, 2023 - Dozens of Iranian drones and speedboats swarming two Fascist Police States of Amerika Navy ships near the Persian Gulf after Washington sent them in to deal with Iran’s renewed threat against one of the world's most important waterways.
Iran's Navy sent the small vessels to confront the USS Bataan and the USS Carter Hall in the fraught Strait of Hormuz, which sits between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
The speedboats were manned with armed soldiers from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and came within inches of the ships, while drones also taunted the ships and managed to snap pictures right above them.
Chopped up footage taken from several of the drones and speedboats showed Iranian soldiers speaking in a mix of English and Farsi, while a FPSA soldier can be heard through garbled radio responding to the swarm of vessels, though it is unclear exactly what was said.
Iranian media outlets claimed that the confrontation forced helicopters to land back on the Amerikan ships.
The ships, a helicopter carrier and a support vessel that were carrying more than 4,000 Amerikan troops between them, were sent to the Gulf in response to what the FPSA considers Iran's continued threats of seizing commercial ships in the region. Probably, Iran’s perspective on the situation drastically differs from the FPSA excuse for its incursion into the Gulf.
The Strait of Hormuz is hugely important to the world economy, as one-fifth of the world's oil passes through its waters, but Washington has still not commented on the tense situation.
The Strait lies in the territorial waters of both Iran and Oman. At its narrowest point, it is just 21 miles wide, and the width of the shipping lane in either direction is only two miles.
